Hey guys anybody try the blades you can get off Amazon or eBay? They are way cheaper than the one from Inland. I just replaced the blade and guide(ones I got from Inland) just last month and it snapped again. So frustrated. The one that came with the bandsaw lasted me over a year. Thinking about trying these out instead.
 
Before you call me cheap I can get 3 blades for the price of 1 from Inland :D
 
Yes, they are the same blade just 1/3 cheaper.

I have gone through 5 blades in the last two years, not one has broken i have only had to replace them from wearing out the diamonds and over stretching. I bought the ones from Amazon.

I'm ordering a couple. I'll update with how they work out in case some people are curious.
 
To add this is our local club saw and lfs employee saw. So it gets used haha last blade broke on me... So bought one from guy posted above. Shipped quick but was USPS

I was wondering the same thing as my blade needs to be replaced. Is there also a good place to get cheaper plastic blade guides etc?? Thanks!

The blade guides are cheap already. $4-$5 each. But I have to say I ordered a couple from Aquarium Specialty and the shipping was less than $2. Must be some honest folks over there not charging me $5-$10 for shipping something that fits in an envelope. HTH.
 
I purchased half a dozen from Amazon, have been using one for about 4 months now, no problem and I frag/trim A LOT. They are just as good or better than the inland ones.
 
I just ordered from Inland and get this, $20 to ship one blade 0.0 ....$20 dollars!? AND it took them 5 business days from first contact to product shipmentment.
 
I used the ones you can find on amazon/eBay much cheaper for the same thing. Will do the same now for my Gryphon, blades are just a tad bit bigger
 
I've been using the knock offs now for at least a month. Used it 2-3X a week and its been working well.
 
i think they're the same quality blades. yeah, the blades are way cheaper at ebay/amazon. maybe you're rushing a bit now compared to before? i remember first time, i was super cautious and went slow.
also the stuff you're cutting, maybe it's more sturdier? good luck ;-)
